Manufacturers, Wholesaler/Distributors and Retailers now have access to a variety of international business growth and regulatory compliance services customized to their budget.

“Our clients want strong export compliance programs and some also need help with export licensing and international business advice to enable the growth of their international presence,” says Jeff Grody, Orchid Advisors principal and Executive Director of the firm’s Export / ITAR / EAR practice. “The conundrum many of them face is that the scale of their operations doesn’t justify a full-time employee with a broad skill set. This program allows clients to precisely align their spend with their requirements so they can allocate their budgets to other business matters.”

The Orchid Advisors Managed Export Services offering provides the industry with a solution to its export compliance, licensing and trade advisory needs. The firm will work directly with its clients to determine which export-related services they are likely to require over a two-year period and provide a custom price based on their profile. Clients receive the agreed-upon range of export services, as well as anytime access to Orchid’s export team, for one, all-inclusive fee.

Jordan Young, a former Remington Outdoor Company employee and General Manager of Dasan USA joined the firm as a key participant of the Managed Export Services program. Jordan states, “This arrangement allows Orchid to function as our clients’ export services department, giving them ready access to industry-leading services at a fraction of the cost of a full-time compliance manager.”

Jeff Grody leads Orchid’s Managed Export Services team. Before joining Orchid Advisors in 2014, Jeff spent nine years as senior vice president and chief legal counsel at a major industry manufacturer, where he participated in international sales, partnerships and relationships with agents in more than 60 countries worldwide.

“Managed Export Services are another step in our mission to give the industry the services, products and tools to run great compliance programs and help them grow their businesses,” says Jon Rydberg, Orchid Advisors CEO. “Managed Export Services free our clients’ operating personnel to focus on running the business instead of filing licenses.
